4. Purchase suggestions and industry trends
For mining companies that require super large equipment, it is recommended to give priority toLiebherrorCaterpillarAlthough the initial investment of the mining machine model is high, its service life can reach more than 15 years. Engineering construction units can pay attention toKomatsuandHirakiintelligent medium-sized equipment.
It is worth noting that Chinese brands are making efforts in the high-end market. Sany Heavy Industry's SY650H has entered the high-end market in Southeast Asia with its low failure rate, and its price is about 20% lower than that of Japanese products of the same level.
In the next two years, with the application of hydrogen energy technology, it is expected that the prices of super-large excavators will rise by 10%-15%. Recently, the hydrogen fuel concept machine PC3000H released by Komatsu has triggered widespread discussion in the industry.
